1. A method, comprising:
receiving a plurality of physical items for delivery to a plurality of delivery addresses, the delivery addresses being in a determined geographic area;
delivering the plurality of physical items to the plurality of delivery addresses;
receiving, by one or more processors, from a plurality of distribution network sources, a wireless signal comprising item information and delivery information for the plurality of physical items and the plurality of delivery addresses to which the plurality of physical items are to be delivered;
automatically generating, by the one or more processors, a fused data structure for each of the plurality of delivery addresses using the received item information and delivery information for the plurality of physical items delivered to each of the plurality of delivery addresses;
storing, in a memory, the fused data structure for each of the plurality of delivery addresses;
receiving, via a user interface, a request to identify a specific address of the plurality of delivery addresses that is associated with a specific behavior;
analyzing the fused data structure generated for the specific address of the plurality of delivery addresses via a risk score engine;
calling, in the risk score engine, the fused data structure to identify a quantity of physical items of a first item type delivered to a specific address and a quantity of physical items of a second item type delivered to the specific address, wherein the first item type is a promotional offer or a parcel, and wherein the second item type is a utility bill, or a tax bill;
identifying a risk score for the specific address by comparing the quantity of physical items of the first type to the quantity of physical items of the second type;
comparing the risk score to a threshold value;
when the risk score is greater than or equal to the threshold value, determining that the specific address is associated with the specific behavior;
providing, via the user interface, the risk score for the specific delivery address;
generating a visualization identifying the plurality of delivery addresses and the risk score for the specific address;
displaying the visualization via the user interface; and
in response to determining the risk score is less than the threshold value, automatically sorting and routing, in item sorting equipment, a physical item from the plurality of physical items according to the specific address not associated with the specific behavior.
